If the file you have is the right size but wrong you might need to make the size wrong to force it to fix it (heanet at least refuses the -c option to use checksums as it places a large load on the server). You can make the size wrong easily by appending some rubbish to the iso with a command like:

Code:

echo rubbish >> aptosid-2011-01-geras-kde-lite-i386-201102051540.iso

Note that has two > marks together for appending, if you only put one you would end up replacing the broken iso you have and need to download the lot again, so make sure you have >> and not >

The problem may be in the full-version which perhaps even now is uploaded as a huge combo of 32-bit and 64-bit.
I go for the Lite versions. KDE-Lite 64-bit, so never even look at the full.

My speed is 512K-bits/s, and I have the option to use the sod(speed-on-demand) with speeds upto 2M-bits/s at nominal
rates (AirTel) with 5 minute pulses. I use the sod for dist-upgrade and sometimes HD videos.

So, as stated in earlier post, I see no need.

Everyone, have a nice day.
